The Curly Spider Plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain away to prevent root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce watering and fertilization during the dormant season (fall and winter). Repot your Curly Spider Plant when it becomes root-bound, typically every 1-2 years, using a well-draining potting mix.
